I had to read this book over the summer for school and I immediately put it at the bottom of the list because I was pretty much dreading having to read it. After waiting until the last possible moment to start reading it yesterday, i found that i finished it in a few hours. it was amazing. i'm actually writing a paper on it right now. well, i just thought i'd throw that out there for all of you kids like me, who assumed this would be a terrible book, and decided to look for reviews instead. give it up and read the book.

I too read this book in one evening, I just could not put it down. It was a very true look at how things are for children living in Afganistan, and the courage to change ones life to better herself. I was touched by her strength and her ambition and I also agree that this book should be read by all teens who think the have bad lives and teens who want to better the world. I would love to know how she is now and what things she has done with her life. You just want to take her into your arms and never let go,Thank you Farah for sharing this incredible story .

I checked out Farah Ahmedi's book yesterday at the library and read it the same evening. Her life story thus far is one of unbelieveable hardships, struggles and triumphs. I loved this book and Farah's courage to keep going, no matter what. It made me love my country even more and realize the freedoms we have. I wish this book was required reading for every highschool student in the US. They need to see and appreciate how people live in other countries and also to reach out to foreigners among us.
